The hole was drilled in the North Kildinskaya Area in the southern part of the Barents Sea within the South Barents tectonic depression.Reasons for drilling:1. Specification of the geological structure of the area and obtaining data for stratification of the geological section and its allocation with reflecting seismic horizons;2. Study of properties, composition and lithologic-facial features of sedimentary rocks;3. Study of stratal waters.Technical results:The hole was drilled from 01.07.1985 till 24.12.1985. It has penetrated the section up to 4134 m and stopped in Late Permian deposits.Scientific results:1. Within the studied geological section a lithologic and stratigraphic sequence of sedimentary rocks (based on microfauna, spora and pollen spectra, bivalve mollusks, and lithologic composition) from Late Permian to Quaternary deposits has been carried out.2. Thicknesses of the units are as followed: Late Permian - 14 m, Early Triassic - 1686 m (Induan - 1108 m, Olenekian - 578 m), Middle Triassic ...
